I will arrange custom percussion for marching band, indoor percussion, and drum corps


About this gig
I will create custom percussion arrangements for marching band, indoor percussion, and drum corps, tailored to your ensembles instrumentation, ability level, and musical goals.
With more than 20 years of experience in the marching arts, I understand that great percussion writing needs to do more than sound impressive. It needs to support the musical moment, coordinate with the full ensemble, create effect, and be teachable for the performers who will actually play it.
I can write for:
Battery percussion
Front ensemble
Full percussion sections
Marching band
Indoor percussion
Drum corps
Developing through advanced ensembles
Arrangements can be created from your existing source material, scores, recordings, or show concepts. I can also work within specific instrumentation, difficulty, stylistic, and educational requirements.
Deliverables may include professionally engraved sheet music, reference audio, MIDI files, and individual tracks depending on your package.
For full shows, unusual instrumentation, or larger projects, please contact me before ordering for a custom quote.

FAQ
Can you write for both battery and front ensemble?
Yes. I can arrange for battery, front ensemble, or complete percussion sections. Instrumentation can be customized to fit your ensemble.
Do you write for marching band, indoor percussion, and drum corps?
Yes. I have experience writing for the marching arts and can tailor the music to the style, demands, and ability level of your specific ensemble.
Can you arrange from an existing piece of music or recording?
Yes. You can provide a score, audio recording, MIDI file, reference track, or other source material. Please make sure you have the appropriate rights or permission to use any copyrighted material.
Can you match the difficulty level of my performers?
Absolutely. I can write for developing, intermediate, advanced, or highly competitive ensembles. Let me know the experience level of your performers and any specific strengths or limitations.
What counts as one instrument in your packages?
For package purposes, an instrument refers to a written part or track. For example, the snare line, tenor line, bass drum line, Marimba 1, Marimba 2, and Vibraphone would each count as separate parts.
Can you write an entire show?
Yes. Full-show projects vary considerably in length, instrumentation, and complexity, so please contact me before ordering for a custom quote.
What do you need from me to get started?
Ideally, send me your source music or show materials, instrumentation, desired difficulty level, approximate length, deadline, and any specific musical or design ideas you already have.
What do revisions include?
Revisions are intended for reasonable adjustments to the delivered arrangement, such as difficulty changes, voicing, orchestration, or specific musical moments. Major changes in concept, source material, or instrumentation may require an additional charge.
